PREFACE 

XN  PUBLISHING  this  Supplementary  Reading  List 
for  High  School  English,  Colorado  State  Teachers 
College  hopes  to  be  of  service  to  the  secondary  schools 
of  Colorado  and  of  other  sections  of  the  United  States.  I 
trust  that  high  school  teachers  of  literature  realize  that 
their  work  is  only  begun  by  the  classroom  study  of  texts, 
that  the  ultimate  aim  of  their  teaching  is  the  inculcation 
of  the  love  of  good  reading,  and  that  the  best  means  of 
securing  this  happy  outcome  is  systematic  supplementary 
reading  by  their  pupils.  Such  reading  demands  a  guiding 
list  of  broader  scope  than  can  be  attained  by  any  one  per- 
son, whether  teacher  or  librarian. 

The  compilers  of  this  book  list  have  done  a  painstaking 
piece  of  work  in  reviewing  scores  of  the  best  lists  pre- 
viously published.  They  have  attempted  to  do  a  new  thing 
in  annotating  the  books  from  the  student,  rather  than  the 
teacher,  point  of  view.  In  this  task  they  have  gratefully 
received  the  assistance  of  other  members  of  the  English 
Department  of  Colorado  State  Teachers  College.  Further- 
more, they  desire  from  those  who  employ  this  book  list  con- 
structive  suggestions  that  shall  make  it  more  useful. 

I  am  pleased  to  approve  this  work,  addressed  through 
their  high  school  English  teachers  to  our  American  boys 
and  girls.

ORIGIN  OF  THE  LIST 

XN  THIS  book  list  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  compile  a  compre- 
hensive, graded,  annotated,  weighted  list  of  six  types  of  literature 
which  will  include  books  useful  in  all  types  of  high  schools.  Lists 
of  supplementary  reading  in  high  school  English  are  undergoing  a  process 
of  adjustment.  This  study  is  an  attempt  to  prepare  a  list  having  advan- 
tages over  those  previously  published.  It  was  thought  that  if  a  list,  show- 
ing high  frequency  of  mention  in  other  good  lists  could  be  compiled,  it 
would  be  valuable  because  it  would  be  superior  to  any  now  in  existence 
in  that  it  would  represent  the  judgment  of  a  number  of  teachers.  Fur- 
thermore, it  was  thought  that  this  list  might  be  improved  by  the  addition 
of  selections  representing  sources  of  interest  in  high  school  English  as 
determined  by  investigators  in  this  field. 

A  combination  of  sources  was  chosen  for  this  study:  namely,  state 
high  school  manuals,  printed  syllabi  issued  by  city  school  systems,  and 
sources  of  interest  in  literature  as  determined  by  former  investigations. 
The  lists  in  high  school  manuals  represent  the  practice  of  the  vast  num- 
ber of  schools  that  have  no  prepared  lists  of  their  own.  The  printed  lists 
issued  in  city  school  systems  represent  the  work  of  men  and  women  who 
are  in  close  contact  with  the  schools  and  who  are  experimenting  with  the 
selections.  By  taking  into  consideration  sources  of  interest  in  literature 
as  determined  by  thorough  investigators,  we  may  include  selections  in 
accord  with  the  native  interests  of  high  school  pupils  of  different  ages. 

With  these  ideas  in  mind  the  compilers  made  an  examination  of  some 
sixty  supplementary  reading  lists  representing  states  and  cities  in  widely 
separated  sections  of  the  United  States.  After  sifting  out  those  which 
were  not  found  explicit  in  regard  to  the  study  being  made,  twenty  lists, 
ten  of  them  prepared  for  city  schools  and  ten  found  in  state  high  school 
manuals,  were  selected  for  further  use.  Then  frequencies  of  mention  of 
six  types  of  literature  (namely,  novel,  short  story,  biography,  essay,  poetry, 
and  drama)  for  the  ninth,  tenth,  eleventh,  and  twelfth  grades  were  tabu- 
lated from  these  lists.  The  selections  appearing  in  the  lists  three  times  or 
more  were  used  as  a  core  upon  which  to  build.  Other  selections  were 
added  in  accordance  with  various  sources  of  interest  found  to  exist  among 
high  school  pupils  of  different  ages  by  C.  Edward  Jones  and  other  inves- 
tigators, and  in  accordance  with  certain  principles  of  choice  of  grouping 
as  set  forth  in  Bulletin  No.  2  for  1917  of  the  United  States  Bureau  of 
Education.  The  high  school  manuals  and  city  lists  are  given  below  in  il- 
phabetical  order.

In  the  core  list  determined  by  investigating  these  twenty  lists,  only 
collective  judgment  was  considered,  and  the  development  of  this  list 
did  not  depend  upon  any  particular  set  of  principles  in  the  minds  of  the 
writers.  But  when  the  problem  of  building  upon  this  list  presented  itsilf, 
it  became  necessary  to  have  some  definitely  formulated  principles  in 
order  to  be  able  to  add  selections  intelligently. 

In  the  past,  courses  of  literature  have  been  largely  shaped  for  the 
academic  curriculum  and  have  not  presupposed  a  variety  of  types  of  books 
to  meet  the  conditions  of  the  different  types  of  schools.  In  the  prepara- 
tion of  this  list  an  attempt  was  made  to  include  a  sufficient  variety  of 
literary  selections  to  meet  different  demands.     The  general  aims  of  liter- 


(  5  ) 


ature  teaching  apply  to  all  schools,  and  specific  aims  depend  upon  local 
conditions.  Therefore,  no  particular  classical,  vocational,  or  technical 
curriculum  was  considered  apart  from  others,  and  only  the  general  prin- 
ciple of  an  inclusive  variety  applied  here. 

However,  when  it  came  to  the  more  specific  choice  and  grouping,  a 
definite  list  of  principles  was  necessary.  These  were  derived  largely  from 
Educational  Bulletin  No.  2,  1917,  on  Reorganization  of  English  in  Secon- 
dary Schools,  as  follows: 

Principles  of  Choice. 

1.  Value  in  content  (power  of  broadening  mental  vision  and  stimulating 
thought),  ethical  soundness,  human  sympathy,  optimism,  literary  qualities. 

2.  Power  to  interest  pupils  in  the  given  year.  They  must  enjoy,  not 
merely  tolerate. 

3.  If  necessary,  subordination  of  the  excellence  of  style  to  value  of 
content  and  power  to  arouse  interest. 

4.  A  variety  of  choice  to  meet  the  needs  of  individual  pupils  in  schools. 

5.  A  gradual  growth  in  breadth  of  content  and  depth  of  appeal. 

Principles  of  Grouping. 

1.  Pupils  from  thirteen  to  fifteen  (the  age  of  a  majority  of  our  high 
school  freshmen)  enjoy  stirring  narratives  full  of  movement  and  manly  vir- 
tues. This  is  the  place  for  stories  of  action  and  adventure.  There  is  a 
marked  tendency  for  boys'  books. 

2.  Literature  of  action  and  adventure  may  be  continued  in  the  second 
year,  but  usually  by  this  time  students  are  less  easy  to  interest  and  arouse. 
Interest  in  life  is  no  longer  mainly  objective  and  students  are  interested  in 
their  own  developing  nature.  The  literature  with  a  prominent  love  element 
is  not  best  here.  Literature  presenting  large  and  serious  questions  of  right 
and  wrong  is  of  great  value.  Messages  of  patriotism  and  practical  idealism 
are  popular.  Students  of  this  age  are  eager  for  a  taste  of  life  and  its  prob- 
lems. Their  minds  are  open  to  vital  questions  of  human  responsibility.  Vir- 
tues in  characters  are  recognized,  and  a  moral  stimulus  from  an  imaginary 
association  with  them  results. 

3.  If  students  are  guided  safely  past  the  second  year,  the  rest  of  the 
way  is  easy.  In  the  third  year  the  love  of  man  and  woman  in  their  relations 
with  each  other  may  be  discussed  frankly.  Students  of  this  year  are  inter- 
ested in  human  conflicts  and  great  moral  laws.  Literature  stimulative  of 
thought  on  human  responsibility  and  problems  of  everyday  life  has  a  place 
here.  Literature  must  be  wholesome,  for  it  is  still  youth  and  not  maturity 
that  is  being  guided. 

4.  In  the  fourth  year,  even  earlier  where  students  have  some  literary 
background,  the  appeal  may  be  made  frankly  literary.  The  young  people's 
interest  may  be  aroused  in  the  world's  heritage  from  the  past.  They  are  able 
to  give  a  broader  interpretation  of  the  present  in  the  light  of  the  past  and  to 
see  the  simpler  relations  of  American  literature  to  that  of  other  lands.  A 
rapid  reading  of  modern  literary  productions,  especially  the  work  of  Ameri- 
can authors,  will   prove   of  value   here. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  final  list  weighting  and  annotations  were 
thought  essential.  Very  brief  descriptive  annotations  are  given.  The 
point  of  view  of  the  pupil  is  primarily  considered,  and  an  attempt  is 
made  to  include  only  such  statements  as  will  arouse  the  interest  of  the 
boy  or  girl.  The  principles  of  choice  and  grouping  as  given  above  suggest 
to  some  extent  annotations  suitable  for  different  years.  For  example, 
a  book  annotated  as  a  thrilling  story  of  adventure  will  naturally  appeal 
to  a  first  year  pupil;  and  one  annotated  as  introducing  prominent  literary 
or  historical  characters,  or  as  the  expression  of  some  great  movement, 
will  interest  the  fourth  year  student.  Moreover,  these  annotations  will 
also  aid  teachers  in  suggesting  books  to  individual  pupils. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  there  is  such  a  variation  in  the  difficulty  with 
which  certain  books  are  read  and  assimilated,  some  method  of  appor- 
tioning work  among  pupils  is  necessary.  Compilers  of  some  lists  have  de- 
cided upon  a  system  of  weighting — that  is.  a  statement  of  the  number  of 
comparative  points  or  credits  that  the  reading  of  different  books  is  worth. 
In  the  material  here  used,  four  such  weighted  lists  are  included — namely, 
those  of  Los  Angeles,  California;  Canon  City,  Colorado;  Bloomington, 
Illinois;  and  Greeley,  Colorado.  Comparison  of  the  weighting  of  these 
lists  revealed  rather  close  correspondence.  Where  a  noticeable  difference  of 


(6) 


opinion  was  found,  the  average  was  taken.  The  weighting  of  the  follow- 
ing list  consists  to  a  great  extent  of  borrowings  from  these  lists.  Selec- 
tions for  which  no  weighting  was  found  were  weighted  according  to  length, 
difficulty,  theme,  and  value  as  literature. 

In  addition  to  the  lists  of  individual  short  stories,  poems,  dramas, 
etc.,  mentioned,  a  number  of  the  best  collections  were  listed.  The  recent 
impetus  given  to  the  study  of  these  types  of  literature  makes  a  wide  range 
of  choice  advisable. 

The  greatest  frequency  of  mention  determined  the  year  in  which  the 
selections  were  placed  in  the  core  list.  In  the  few  instances  where  the  fre- 
quency of  mention  in  different  years  was  the  same,  the  principles  of 
grouping  were  applied  and  the  selections  placed  accordingly. 

Doubtless  at  present  no  high  school  library  contains  all  the  books 
here  listed.  Many  schools  have  meager  collections  of  books  and  small 
funds  to  supply  deficiencies,  and  often  the  supposedly  well  equipped  li- 
brary has  a  number  of  antiquated  volumes  unsuited  to  the  present  needs 
of  the  pupils  and  a  sad  lack  of  up-to-date  modern  material.  In  view  of 
these  facts,  it  is  hoped  that  this  study  will  assist  in  the  choice  of  well 
balanced  collections  of  the  most  valuable  books. 

Moreover,  this  work  is  not  a  course  of  study.  It  is  simply  a  division 
of  the  main  types  of  literature  by  years  that  tallies  roughly  with  the  nat- 
ural interests,  mental  development,  and  needs,  intellectual  and  spiritual, 
of  a  large  number  of  pupils  in  these  years.  Consequently  no  suggestions 
are  given  with  reference  to  the  number  of  points  or  credits  to  be  required 
of  each  pupil  during  a  year,  the  relative  amounts  of  different  types  of  liter- 
ature or  different  selections  of  the  same  type,  or  the  nature  of  the  reports 
to  be  made  upon  this  collateral  reading.  These  things  will  depend  largely 
upon  local  conditions,  and  especially  upon  library  facilities. 

Magazines  are  not  included  in  this  list.  Those  mentioned  most  often 
in  the  lists  consulted  are  the  Literary  Digest  for  general  information  and 
current  poetry;  the  Atlantic  Monthly  for  its  attractive  essays;  Current 
Opinion  for  its  review  of  plays  and  current  poetry;  the  Mentor  for  its 
attractive  pictures  and  condensed  information  on  literature,  travel, 
sciences,  and  arts;  the  American  for  its  articles  on  business  principles 
and  development  of  character;  the  Survey  for  its  articles  on  social  prob- 
lems; and  Good  Housekeeping,  a  very  reliable  woman's  magazine.  Other 
valuable  periodicals  mentioned  were  The  Popular  Science  Monthly,  Travel, 
The  National  Geographic,  The  Independent,  The  World's  Work,  Literary 
Review,  Review  of  Reviews,  Poetry,  Drama,  and  Harper's  Monthly.  Pupils 
should  be  influenced  to  read  regularly  at  least  three  or  four  good  magazines. 
Therefore,  our  good  magazines  should  have  a  place  in  every  high  school 
lfbrary,  the  number  depending  upon  the  amount  of  the  library  fund,  size 
of  the  school,  and  other  social  circumstances.
